Episode 52. glass (2)

Ever since I was wearing huge glasses, I thought it was unusual… !

“Jun, you are really amazing.”

“yes? No, I just did it for fun… .”

During class, Jun created a magic formula that changed the ‘flame’ of the ignition ceremony to ‘light’ without any reference materials.

Jun, who was shy about studying alone since he was young, was a real genius in Yuri’s eyes.

“Why are other professors scolding you? Obviously, Professor Ian said that transforming a magic formula without reference materials is very difficult.”

Then, a chilling voice from behind made Jun, who was laughing heehee, freeze in an instant.

“It’s because the transformed magic formula is garbage.”

“What?”

When Yuri looked back at the sudden verbal abuse, the most famous first-year girl in the magic department was looking at Yuri and Jun as if she was pathetic.

“What do you do with transformation? It’s less efficient than other theorems.”

“Eugene, aren’t your words too harsh? Then can you do better than Jun?”

“Why am I doing such a useless thing? I have to make a low-level proof, but where the hell am I going to use it… . Jun, it’s not just once or twice, it’s like that all the time during class. The kids hate you.”

“This is real… .”

“Yuri, you… . hehehe, why don’t you just put an end to magic and study theology with the kid next to you who can’t speak?”

Every time I saw Eugene sarcastic, my blood seemed to spurt. Since this had happened not once or twice, Yuri soon made up her mind and decided to ignore Yujin.

“… Hey. Are you chewing on me now?”

“Why are you like this, tired? Are you jealous of Jun by any chance?”

“What!?”

“Or don’t mind. Why do you keep coming to a quiet kid?”

At that time, a cool sensation ran through Yuri’s entire body.

When she came to her senses, she was holding onto Eugene’s wrist.

“Yuri, you… .”

“Hey.”

Eugene’s wrists turned red as if he had put too much strength into his hands. However, Yuri spoke as if warning, not caring about Eugene glaring at him with tears in his eyes.

“You just tried to use magic.”

“That… .”

“What did we do so wrong? We’ll keep quiet in the corner from now on, so please leave us alone.”

“Hey! where are you going, hey… !”

“Don’t follow me. Next time I won’t be patient.”

Yuri, who held Jun’s hand and avoided the seat, was complicated.

Today, the name tag of the E-class felt heavy.

Where did the thrill of first stepping into this school go, and Yuri felt herself getting smaller and smaller.

Following Master’s words… . I proudly entered to teach everyone forgotten free magic, but when I came to Kiruna, I was in a position where I had to be taught by Professor Ian and Mina, instead of teaching me.

‘It’s something only you can do.’

‘Really, Master?’

… This time, Master was wrong.

I am just one of the common students here. No, actually, you’re an inferior student who can’t keep up with magic classes properly… .

“Ugh-“

“Yuri… .”

Even as she pretended to be brave and took Jun out, Yuri’s sigh didn’t seem to end.

* * *

“Ah, annoying. annoying… !”

‘Are you jealous of Jun?’

Yoo-jin, who had trouble sleeping at night because of Yuri’s nonsense kept ringing in her ears, was crying on the bed the next morning.

“What should I do, it’s late!”

“But, Eugene. I told you not to come into my room in the morning-”

“Does that sound like that?! I’m late! If you keep doing this, you won’t be able to get first place in the whole school!!”

Eugene Navida, who entered Kiruna as the head of the Ministry of Magic, did not live in a dormitory.

It was because Eugene’s mother couldn’t possibly leave her in the hands of other people, and this wasn’t a matter of overprotectiveness, it was a matter of shame.

“What is this head?! what’s wrong mama Is this because you want to see me being teased at school?”

“… Eugene, didn’t you say late? I’ll make your hair prettier next time-“

“How can I get out of here!”

Then again, he started crying for the world to leave, but he said that he was late, and he did not move a single step on the bed.

After losing him, Eugene became a difficult child, but her mother couldn’t bear to scold Eugene properly because of the guilt of what it would have been like if she had played the role of a father properly.

“I wouldn’t be late if only my dad was there! It wouldn’t be too late if Dad packed up for me while Mama did my hair!”

“… Eugene, I’m sorry mom.”

Yu-jin, who used to eat raw food without knowing what her mother was feeling inside, became more saddened because her wrist, which had been grabbed by Yuri yesterday, still seemed to throb.

“What is he, what is he… !”

“Yes?”

“Mom, don’t you feel sorry for me that I was bullied by a strange kid at school?!”

“… What?”

Eugene thought it was because the idiot in E class was a real idiot because he only meditated from the beginning of the semester and couldn’t keep up with the class properly.

But yesterday. That moment when I ‘thought’ for a second, that I should throw a block of ice out of anger at the nonsense that I was jealous of Jun.

‘You just tried to use magic.’

Yuri grabbed her wrist.

I’m sure I was just thinking about it, but did Mana move at that time?

It was also his right hand, the hand he had intended to throw the ice at, he correctly grabbed it.

“That is against the rules!”

“Eugene, please explain the situation-”

“I don’t know!!”

If it wasn’t for Sharp, who appears only in fairy tales, an E-class inferior student wouldn’t be able to have that sensitive sensitivity… .

Is it a coincidence? No, how could that be a coincidence… !

“He’s a commoner and he’s short… . If you only feel mana well, what are you doing, fool! huh!”

Even though he tried to rationalize it and cover up his uneasy feeling, the wrist that Yuri was holding still hurt.

‘Miss Lee! A strong fool. Ji is a knight.’

In the end, Eugene, who went to school crying, told her friends why her eyes were so swollen, saying it was because she slept a little late yesterday.

* * *

Most of the classmates hated Jun, but everyone sympathized with her on the day she moved to Agoge Building 4, Room 3-28.

Even the group of Iljin who bullied her did not touch Jun as he left with his luggage.

‘Ghosts live in Room 3-28.’

‘Three months ago, the seniors who lived there were hit in the head with something… . He said he was still lying in the hospital room… !’

Horrible rumors circulate that the people who lived in Room 3-28 are still receiving regenerative treatment because their faces were stamped on the corner of something, and Room 3-28, located in the corner of the dormitory, has become a forbidden place that no one seeks.

“Senior Lethe, by any chance… . Is the rumor true… ?”

“Uh.”

“… .”

“it’s okay. No ghosts live here. I know because I only lived here for three years.”

“Really? thank god… ! Actually, I am so happy to be here.”

“yes?”

Although full of passion for learning, Jun, disliked by professors, was bullied by everyone around him because of his small physique and timidity.

At school, she heard ridicule from honor students, and in the dormitory, the kids who were jealous of her in Class B would push her away or steal her books and not give them back.

Because he had been ostracized even in the six-person room he had previously lived in, Jun couldn’t sleep easily because of the bullying that continued into the night.

I kept telling the dormitory director about the situation and begging him… . He sent Jun to room 3-28 as if he was annoying.

“To be honest, I was a little scared at first… . It’s much more comfortable here. There are also three beds.”

“I’m glad.”

The first impression of No. 3-28, which arrived as if pushed, was more frightening than a ghost I had never seen before.

Two bloody-looking seniors are drinking under the moonlight, and glass fragments from broken bottles glisten on the floor.

Jun was frightened by that appearance, but contrary to his worries, Lete-senpai was very kind.

I shared three beds that I used to use alone, and cleaned the floor with the smell of alcohol and the strange iron smell, along with Kali.

The corner of the bed, which was turning black, was especially careful and made it look like new.

“But what was it?”

“I know. I don’t know what it is, but it doesn’t clean well, right? Sorry, I made you suffer for nothing.”

“No. I really like this place. To the point where I just want to stay here… . Scary kids don’t come here.”

“Oops. Right. Where do those scary kids live?”

Seeing that Lethe-senpai was interested, Jun talked about the scary kids in the agoge dormitory for a while.

“… So they-. Oh, I have to stop now. My life has become lamentable… .”

“No, continue.”

“This isn’t very funny… .”

“Huh… . Then how is your school life?”

Even though Lethe-senpai didn’t even step out of the room, buried under a mountain of blankets, he liked hearing news from outside.

It is like a rabbit in a cage listening to the chirping of birds coming through the window.

It seemed that someone had imprisoned her here, but also seemed to have a personality that just couldn’t win over trouble.

This time, Jun told Lethe about the new friends he made.

“glass?”

“Yeah… . He’s a friend who talks to a kid like me first and stops other kids from bullying him.”

I heard that even Karin, who cannot speak out, was bullied a lot by the bad guys at first.

He said that it was very difficult for him to adapt to school life because it was his first time coming out of the world after living only in a church, but thanks to Yuri being by his side, he has brightened up a lot now… .

“You’re a good kid.”

“Yes, by the way, I feel so sorry for Yuri… . I’m just afraid we won’t be friends.”

“Are you sorry?”

“I feel like you’re having a hard time because of me… .”

After colliding with Eugene Navida, Yuri’s bright expression has recently become much darker.

Not only Jun, but Karin also comforts Yuri a lot, but today I haven’t seen her straighten her shoulders until the end.

“I think it happened while covering me… . I don’t feel so downhearted in front of kids who are afraid of Yuri, but I think it’s hard for kids who are good at studying to ignore them.”

“All three are pitiful. I wish I could have gone to school.”

“Yeah?”

“no. Jun, you can help Yuri this time. You can do it. If you study hard, you can pay the same back to the kids who ignore Yuri.”

“Could that be… ?”

“Of course. Even though you studied on your own, you’re doing better than the kids who studied with magic instructors. So, in order to study hard tomorrow, should I go to bed now?”

Lete-senpai sneaked up to Jun and put something on his bangs.

“Wow, does it look good? Now, this is a gift.”

“What’s this?”

“It’s a talisman. wear it on your head Give your friends too.”

Bunny-shaped hairpins poured into Jun’s hands. Before asking what kind of amulet this was, Lethe took off Jun’s glasses.

“sleep well.”

“A senior?”

“Go out and come. Sweet dreams.”

* * *

so the next day.

When Jun went to the dorm cafeteria for breakfast.

“… ?”

For some reason, today, no one touched Jun wearing a bunny hairpin.

No, far from arguing, Yuri and Karin, who had come to meet her to protect Jun, looked around as if they were curious, feeling that everyone was avoiding her eyes and paving the way.

“Wow, this looks like it really works! What? Is it magic?”

“what is that?”

Unbeknownst to the trio, who were delighted with the efficacy of the rabbit-shaped amulet, the Agoge health room was closed in the morning.
